Hey friend,
I’m calling today “Christmas Eve-Eve,” which really just means I’m attempting to get my brain to slow down before the real chaos starts.
Every year I tell myself I won’t overdo it… and then somehow I’m still wrapping gifts at midnight, eating sugar cookies for dinner, and wondering whether I’m supposed to feel magic or exhaustion.
Maybe both?
This week I’ve been thinking about how often we treat December like a sprint — mentally, emotionally, financially. Gifts, school events, adjusting to family expectations, and trying not to burn out. And then January shows up and expects us to be “a new person.”
I’ve been trying to permit myself to land a little softer this year.
For me, that looks like:
letting some things stay undone
not forcing holiday perfection
paying attention to what my body is asking for
supporting our immune systems because winter always hits hard after stress
And honestly, I usually wait until after Christmas to restock wellness things. That’s just how our budget works.
So, I wanted to quietly give you a heads-up — no pressure at all — that Dec 26–31, Earthley offers their “Earthley Cash” promotion, which essentially provides store credit on any purchases you were already planning to make.
The only reason it matters for me personally is that December stretches our cash thin, and getting a little back for winter wellness helps me not feel guilty supporting our health.
I’m mentioning it now because in a few days, everything will get noisy again. This way, if you expect to replenish magnesium, immune tinctures, or whatever you ran out of, you at least know it’s happening. Not needing to order? That’s fine too. Please do what nourishes you best today!
Anyway — I hope the next few days bring pockets of peace, not pressure.
You deserve rest.
